Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 bulbs Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 Celery stalk
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 Zest of lime
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Tortilla strips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the tops off the garlic bulbs, drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap them in foil. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until the cloves are soft and golden.
While the garlic roasts, finely chop the onion, carrot, and celery.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Stir in the cumin and paprika, and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the broth to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
Once the garlic is roasted, allow it to cool slightly. Squeeze the soft garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste.
Stir the garlic paste into the soup, and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lime juice, lime zest, salt, and black pepper.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro and tortilla strips for added crunch.
Serve warm and enjoy!
